I have a better understanding this morning.

Ackerley had the option of staying with the Titans, but opted to make the move to Houston. Best of luck to him.

“This year it seems like there are a large number of defensive ends and there is some quality at the top. Of those three, probably JPP is a little behind the other two from an experience factor. You are talking about a junior college kid that’s only played one year at a four-year school and he is a junior coming out. So that is a little bit of a concern I guess you could say.

“Graham playing in a Michigan program for four years, a solid program, he has been a contributor over his whole career. He probably has a little bit of an edge if you were to give an edge to anybody. And the same goes for Morgan, even though he is a junior coming out he has been playing for a couple of years, in a solid program and with consistency.

“But all three of those guys, there’s just whisker between them if you were going to measure that. They are all good football players in their own right. They all bring something to the table. And it is exciting for people that are looking for defensive ends, that’s for sure.’’
